Tackifiers

Tackifiersimprove the adhesive properties of oils and lead to thread tension. Tackifiers achieve this by increasing the adhesion properties by changing the surface energy and enabling better wetting. This increases the adhesion between substrates, which leads to improved adhesive strength and durability. Adhesion promoters are carefully selected and dosed depending on the area of application and the specific requirements of the materials.

Tackifiers in the lubricant industry are typically used in saw chain oils or biolubricants. Especially with saw chain oils, the use of adhesion promoters is essential to prevent the loss of saw chain oil due to the rapid movement of the chain. This can prevent contamination of the environment and increase the general service life of the saw chain oil.

Tackifiers play an important role in the lubricant industry, especially in the formulation of bio-based lubricants or saw chain oils. Adhesion improvers are used specifically to improve the adhesion of lubricants to surfaces and to ensure a long-lasting lubricating effect. The addition of adhesion promoters increases the viscosity of the lubricants, which leads to better lubricity in various applications. Adhesion promoters are carefully selected and formulated according to the specific requirements and operating conditions in order to achieve optimum performance.
